You can use LaTeX by enclosing commands within double dollar signs $$&#8230;$$. There are several options of how you interact with the previous entries. First and foremost, you can write a standalone message which makes sense within the flow of the previous messages. However, if you would like to write a message in response to an earlier message, you have two options. In both cases, you must first place your cursor over the message of interest, and click the three horizontal dots which appear on the right. Then, either:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>click \u2018Start a thread\u2019, and then a thread will be created in the right panel which will allow for discussion (amongst all users) of the initial message without clogging up the central panel; alternatively,<\/li>\n<li>click \u2018Quote\u2019 which will copy that message to the beginning of your new message so that it is clear which message you are responding to &#8211; this may be more suitable than the \u2018Start a thread\u2019 option if your message is simply a reply to a question that won\u2019t generate more discussion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is another way users can interact with each other, but unlike those outlined above, this way is private. By placing your cursor over a user\u2019s icon, you have an option to \u2018CHAT PRIVATELY\u2019. The messages exchanged in this chat can only be viewed by the two participants. These messages can be accessed by either using the \u2018speech bubble\u2019 or \u2018avatar\u2019 tabs in the navigation panel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After some time, you may find that you are participating in many rooms and private discussions, which could lead to a congested navigation panel. One way to deal with this is to make use of the search tab rather than looking for something in a list. Alternatively, you have the option of \u2018hiding\u2019 rooms and conversations. This can be selected from a drop down list after clicking the \u2018levels\u2019 icon in the top right hand corner of any conversation or room. These rooms and conversations can still be accessed through the search function, they just won\u2019t appear in the \u2018speech bubble\u2019 tab.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are many other features of Gitter that we encourage you to explore and make use of, but hopefully this guide is sufficient to get you started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the two week period between the release of the videos and the live coffee break, we invite the conference participants to engage in discussions about the talks.
